MC Championship.
A monthly battleground where some of the strongest Minecraft players face off against each other
to win fame and glory.
However, who is the strongest player in MCC?
Today, we at MCC Highlights are going to break down the best player in every single game,
looking at the categories of PvP, Movement and Team games to determine who is the greatest
Minecraft Champion of them all.
First, we’ll be talking about the PvP games, Skybattle, Survival Games and Battle Box.
However, before we get to discussing who the strongest Mincraft Championship PvPers are,
we need to talk about a game that you might be
the strongest at where you can also face off against other players from all around the
world!
Excuse me, I have to interrupt because the engineering department has a very important
message from our sponsor, Raid Shadow Legends!
The game that brings a true console-level experience to your phone.
Raid is that game you’ve always wanted to play while you’re outside touching grass!
Fight dragons!
But not ender ones.
Collect champions, over 600 of them!
Engage in PVP battles to prove you’re the biggest gamer!
Ursula the Mourner is my spirit champion.
She’s an epic champion, so narrowly close to being legendary and making her mother proud,
but because she can’t heal, she’s destined to remain a dedicated mourner as she revives
those BONEHEAD allies that NEVER SEEM TO LISTEN!!!
And then there’s Gorgorab, or as I call him, Gorgor.
Gorgor spreads Gor universally.
He’s got that full-team revive, heal, and turn metre boost that spreads his Gorgor to
all his allies.
Sometimes, I sit and stare at him and softly chant Gor until I feel ready to take on the
struggles of life again.

Thank you RAID for sponsoring this video and now back to the PVP games of MCC
Skybattle emphasises quick plays and impressive performances, and the strongest players are
masters of these remarkable rounds.
For pure mechanical skill, you don’t need to look much further than Fruitberries.
He continually uses his incredible block placements, near AI brain and disgusting level of mechanical
skill to pull off what seem like impossible feats.
However, Fruit has occasionally been inconsistent in Season 2, scoring worse than normal in
MCC15 and 16.
One of the most consistent players, in contrast, has been Sapnap, who has placed in the Top
3 for every Skybattle of Season 2.
His playstyle relies on pure PvP, with MCC16 and All Stars both showcasing this.
Though he hasn’t had a single soundout performance, his consistency is certainly impressive.
However, our number one player for Skybattle has to be Quig.
Quig has never had a bad Skybattle, with his lowest placement in a Season 2 canon event
being 8th.
Alongside this, he has two first place finishes (in both MCC16 and 20) and the highest scoring
Skybattle Round of all time, getting 10 kills and a win in MCC20.
All of this makes him one of the scariest players in the game, and our pick for the
strongest Skybattler.
SG is probably the most chaotic game in MCC.
Every second there is something going on and since it is only one round everything is then
on the line, creating some of the most tense situations we have seen in this event's history.
Despite this randomness, we can still see some players who consistently manage to perform
incredibly well.
Punz is a good example.
Though he has never won an SG, he consistently is able to rack up kills and has shown his
incredible clutch power from MCC14.
With his great game sense he moves around the map with his team swiftly, and even when
he is alone he picks of opponents getting huge amount of kills, like seen in MCC14.
Someone also worth mentioning is Sapnap.
While he has not gotten as many flashy kills as Punz has, he has still done extremely well.
So well in fact, that he currently has the highest average in Survival Games of any player.
This is mainly due to his great game sense.
He knows when to fall back and go for survival, but when he sees a doable fight, he shreds
anyone in his path.
This playstyle is what led him to get several kills and even a win in MCC 15.
Even with these two great players, there is still one player left to mention, our pick
for the best Survival Games player: Fruitberries.
Fruit has played SG seven times, and four of them have been some of the most legendary
games in MCC history.
MCC9, 16, 17 and 19 were all incredibly strong performances, with all of them greatly helping
in securing Fruit’s placement in dodgebolt.
In fact, Fruit’s teams’ performances in MCC9 and MCC19 Survival Games are the highest
and second highest scoring SG performances of all time Fruit’s great leadership and
chill attitude has time and time again led his team to wins/insane points, even when
the stakes were high and the competition was stiff.
All of these things make Fruitberries our pick for best SG player.
If you want to be the best Battle Box player, getting kills is vital.
The most dominant player we’ve seen so far has got to be Sapnap.
He’s the only player with not one, but two perfect canon 9/9 games of battle box, where
his team got 36 kills and won every round.
[Clip of either MCC13 or MCC19 reaction to 9/9] He has yet to drop out of top 4 individual
in season 2, and since his debut has only left top 5 twice.
In addition to this, he has the individual point record in Battle Box.
Sapnap isn’t completely unrivaled though.
Whilst Krtzyy doesn’t have the insane streak that Sapnap has, he’s shown time and time
again his power, and while not technically a canon event, his dominance in All Stars
can’t be understated, with him tying the kill record whilst on a team not predicted
to do too well.
Although Dave’s mastery is incredibly underrated, we still have to crown Sapnap as the strongest
Battle Box player.
His strong streak and strategies show him as an extremely capable player who can overcome
any adversity.
Most of the time.
For the best PvP player, there’s only one option.
Sapnap consistently pops-off in every single PvP game, being the best Battle Box player
and a top player in both Skybattle and Survival Games.
Our main advice is that if you ever see him in one of these games, run.
Ace Race has had a variety of players finish first, but none have done so as much as PeteZahHutt.
His not 1, not 2, but 3, 1st place finishes of the Clouds map made him the undisputed
best player for a while, and he still keeps on proving just how good he is at movement.
Although Pete hasn’t had the best time with Space Race, his record-setting Python’s
Crypt run as well as his amazing early streak definitely put him in contention.
However, if we’re talking about a jack-of-all-trades, then Illumina is the clear pick.
After MCC20, he became the first and so far only player to place first on every map.
In MCC20 he broke the record for fastest Python’s Crypt run by 15 seconds, whilst also setting
the fastest lap of all time.
On Space Race and Clouds, Illumina has also dominated, coming first on Space Race in MCC15
and first on Clouds in MCC18.
Illumina’s remarkable consistency across all maps is what makes him, to us, the strongest
Ace Race player currently in the event.
Whilst for many games it’s difficult to decide who the strongest player is, Hole in
the Wall is rather easy.
PeteZahHutt is the only player to have ever won every single round of Hole in the Wall
during an event, pulling off the “3Pete” in MCC5.
However, Pete’s consistency has continued into Season 2, with him placing Top 3 every
time Hole in the Wall was played besides MCC18.
Though some players have challenged him, such as Fruitberries and Ranboo, with Ranboo in
particular having a lot of potential, no one is yet to out Pizza the Hutt in Hole in the
Wall.
Similar to Hole in the Wall, Parkour Tag has a single dominant player who is undeniably
the greatest.
Dream.
Dream revolutionized Parkour Tag in MCC15, creating the rotation strategy, where players
would move around the map to specific pre-decided positions that were difficult for hunters
to reach whilst staying as high as possible.
This, in addition to his excellent comms, led to his team surviving multiple rounds.
In addition to boosting other players on his team and his personal skill as a runner, Dream’s
hunting is absolutely terrifying.
Multiple times, he’s managed to hunt the opposing team in under twenty seconds, an
incredibly impressive feat.
Dream is also one of two players, alongside Fruitberries, who has always managed to hunt
every player they’ve faced in a canon event.
Though some players have managed to challenge his running or hunting skills, with Finnster
and PrestonPlayz being two players who have consistently performed well in these areas,
no one is able to match his overall dominance in Parkour Tag.
So far, the movement games have had pretty obvious winners, but that’s all about to
change with TGTTOS.
When you think TGTTOS, the first name that comes to mind has got to be Fruitberries.
He’s got the most 1st places out of anyone, and prior to MCC20 had a 100% win rate on
Industry.
The one strategy everyone knows is to follow Fruit.
If a map involves blocks, there’s a very high chance that Fruit is going to dominate.
While he might not be as good as Fruit at speed bridging, Illumina’s pretty close.
But what really makes Illumina shine is his consistency - no matter what map is being
played, chances are that he’s going to place well.
In fact, Illumina holds the record for lowest average placement across all six maps in an
MCC, never dropping out of the top 7 in MCC15, having placed top 10 in 2/3rds of his TGTTOS
rounds,.
That’s consistency!
The final person we think is in contention is Dream.
He’s an incredibly strong individual player, holding the records for the first tunnel in
Terra Swoop Force, the Cliffs map, and he has never left top 2 in Siege.
Currently, he holds the point record for TGTTOS with his MCC18 performance, at 634 coins.
What enables Dream to get these records is that in addition to being a very capable player
individually, he also often strategizes with his team in order to get the team bonuses,
despite often getting teams that wouldn’t be expected to get them (such as MCC18 Fuchsia
Frankensteins, with George, Quackity, and Sam).
The jury’s out - each of these three players have specific strengths that make them so
scary in To Get To The Other Side, and so Fruit, Illumina, and Dream all have great
claims to being the best.
As of this video’s release, we haven’t seen too much of Rocket Spleef Rush.
However, from the one time we’ve seen it played in MCC20, plus some guesses based off
of Season 1 Rocket Spleef, we’d say that Pete would be a strong competitor once again.
Using his trademark mechanic of elytra hopping instead of using the Rocket Launcher, Pete
managed to place second overall in MCC20 Rocket Spleef.
Though Illumina managed to place first in the same event, he hasn’t shown the same
consistency that Pete managed to during Season 1 Rocket Spleef.
For the best movement player, it’s a close race between two of the Green Gods; PeteZahHutt
and Dream.
Both of them are strong competitors in every single movement game, with Pete being more
dominant in Ace Race and Hole in the Wall, whilst Dream is just better at To Get To The
Other Side and undeniably better in Parkour Tag.
However, in the end we’d say Pete just edges out Dream as the strongest movement player
in the event.
Sands of Time is the most complex game in MCC, with a good team needing leadership,
good risk assessment, parkour and PvE skills, as well as amazing communication.
This is a hard game to be consistently amazing at, so it’s all the more impressive that
HBomb’s team has gotten first in it over 50% of the time he has played it.
H is an incredible leader, and that deserves to be mentioned despite him not being as great
at clearing out rooms quickly as the people we’re about to talk about.
Our first contender for an explorer is PeteZahHutt, one of the riskiest players in Sands of Time,
willing to try everything for any amount of coins if his team is already behind.
However he also knows when they’re in a good position, and is able to play safely
when needed.
His method gives him the highest coins per minute out of any player in Sands of Time,
but it also means that he often dies, in season 2 at least
Dream is another incredible explorer, being one of the best leaders in the event.
His ability to micromanage in every Sands of Time he plays in is one of his biggest
strengths, and leads to his team placing in the top 3 extremely often.
Dream’s biggest issue used to be how frequently he would die, but so far in season 2 that’s
only happened once.
Dream is also an amazing strategist, pioneering the vault-rush strategy.
He also has incredible mechanical skill to go along with it, his only downside is sometimes
he doesn’t have great risk assessment.
Our final pick for who could be the best runner is Illumina.
In season 2, his team has gotten 1st 75% of the time, coming 1st in unsplit two out of
four times, Illumina is a cracked Sands of Time player, consistently being able to tackle
the hardest rooms and parkour.
Illumina’s comms might not be as good as Dream’s, but his individual skill in Sands
of Time can make up for it most of the time.
This is another case where it is just too close to call, as each player has different
strengths and weaknesses.
Though often thought of as a team game, Buildmart still has many individual elements that players
bring to the table.
Though there are many great individual builders like Ranboo and Illumina, the highest impact
players are the leaders.
Grian, for example, perfected the floater strategy of Build Mart.
After MCC14, Grian assumed his role as the manager of Build Mart, directing everyone,
especially the floater, on what and how many blocks needed to be brought back, saving full
minutes of time in the process.
This showed great results, with Grian getting 1st three out of four of the times he used
it in canon MCC’s, as well as getting first in All Stars and second in Pride.
While Grian may be the best manager in Build Mart, there’s a different role that is also
incredibly important - the floater.
We think that the best floater has got to be Wilbur Soot, he’s gotten top 5 every
Build Mart since he started being a floater, being able to elevate teams that appear weaker
at Build Mart.
Honorable mention goes to SB737, a very efficient floater that has gotten 1st place in every
build mart he’s played.
The final player who’s worth mentioning is 5up.
He is credited with being the first player to focus only 2 build lots in build mart,
maximising the potential of the golden builds.
The strategy has been proven to work, and will certainly stick around for the future.
However, our number one Buildmart player has to be Grian.
Until another player can generate consistently strong Buildmart performances, the manager
of Buildmart is here to stay.
Though one of the newer MCC games, Grid Runners certainly has some players who have proven
they’re stronger than others.
Though slightly difficult to judge, as Grid Runners is entirely coinsplit, three players
have shown their strength.
Firstly, Tubbo is very good at communicating puzzles which involve copying blocks, helping
his team breeze through rooms like the MCC18 Pumpkin Carving.
However, he can occasionally get flustered in some rooms, slowing him down slightly.
Tommy has also shined in Grid Runners, in MCC18 solo-ing the potion room faster than
many full teams.
However, he can’t quite compare to our strongest player for Grid Runners, Quig.
In the five times that Quig has played Grid Runners, his team has placed first three times,
as well as coming fourth in MCC20.
He constantly gives very clear instructions and his high mechanical skill makes him a
powerful asset to have in some of the more difficult rooms, creating a scary Grid Runners
pro.
Though each of the different team games require rather different skill sets, Wilbur is the
player who we think comes out on top.
As an incredible sandkeeper and buildmart floater, as well as a consistent Grid Runners
player, his comms should lead many a team to victory!
So, having looked at all the games, who is the best MCC player of them all?
Which S tier is the one that dominates the most?
For us, it’s a relatively simple answer.
It is the player who always leads their team to victory, the one who shreds all the competition
without a flinch, the one who truly embodies what it means to be a true minecraft gamer,
it is, of course, ConnorEatsPants.
Have a good day everyone.
